A guide for this piece: about $46, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

A low-top canvas sneaker from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference C12FW718: apricot-orange canvas with sun-softened colour, oversized grey laces and the hand-sculpted Original Sole, marked EU 42.
The Piece
The silhouette borrows from the plain canvas deck shoe, then the maker takes it somewhere stranger. The upper is cut in a warm apricot canvas that has mellowed with wear into softer, chalky tones across the toes and quarters, finished with a small metal MMY plate on the outer side and chunky flat laces in pale grey.
Below it sits the Original Sole, moulded to look shaped by hand: a thick, rippled wall of cream rubber that slumps and swells around the shoe, with a heavy rounded toe cap and an embossed MMY plaque at each heel. The aged, smoky finish on the rubber is part of the design rather than dirt. Underneath, a navy diamond tread carries the house sun emblem.

Authenticity & Care
Checked in hand in Japan before dispatch, with the reference and size confirmed on the inner labels. Brush the canvas with a soft dry brush, spot-clean marks with a damp cloth, and keep the pair away from direct heat to protect the sculpted sole.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
Japanese shoe sizes are given in centimetres of foot length, checked here by hand, and makers differ by half a size or more. Compare with a pair you already wear from the same maker and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our shoe size conversion chart sets Japan beside US, UK, EU and Korean sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
